They changed some basics from Mull and decided to go other ways. That's why I'm not using thus browser
What
basicsdid we change, and why do you have a problem with them?IronFox still has the same core goals/mission as Mull: to provide a privacy & security-oriented Firefox-based web browser for Android. If IronFox isn't for you, that's completely fine - but I'm just perplexed by your reasoning here, and would appreciate any elaboration so that we can improve.
What would be your suggestion?
waterfox
Waterfox contains proprietary Google Play libraries, and doesn't include any hardening when compared to standard Firefox on Android. It's a completely different project with a different set of goals than IronFox or Mull.
You would be far better off using standard Firefox over Waterfox, in terms of privacy & security.
But weren't they acquired by some big evil company?
